Are we living in a Video GAME ??

人生好像一個電動玩具裡面的遊戲系統。
我們只是一個角色，
我的職責是不斷的在這個系統裡面拼命
拼命的戰鬥，拼命的往上提昇
物質上的，心靈上的，
不論在對人類的貢獻，與宇宙的貢獻，
我們的所做索為都會被電腦系統記下分數，
累積的結果，便是我們的生死提昇或下降的標準！

你將會再度的輪迴，再度的過一次人生，
也許是人，也許你提升為天人，也是降為畜生。。。
在人當中，分有三十個關卡，
自奴隸開始，工人，軍人，老師，一直到大企業主，大總統，大主教，大修行人。。。
層層關卡，都有晉級的評比標準。

因此。此遊戲的最高目的是：
不斷的提升自己的能力，福份，財富，
提昇自己的智慧，創造力，
提升心靈從善與淨化，
提昇心靈的寬廣接納與捨去的自然平等性，
提昇覺知力！
提昇慈悲力，愛人的本覺力。


這是一個遊戲，
一個無法逃脫的，無邊無境，無始無終的遊戲。
在這當中，我們將遇上無數的困難，魔鬼魔障，
也許有因緣也許無所生。。。
在這個遊戲系統中，
我們是一個被安排的角色，
我，無中生有。。。。
我，一直都存在。。。
因為時間是無始無終的！
因為我們的思想，靈魂，身體，
被這個系統，也被我們的行為與觀念綁住。

因為我們相信這個系統的存在，
我們相信我身體的永恆存在與執著，
我們相信我的心被身體所左右，
我們相信我們的眼耳鼻所聽聞見的所有一切，，，
都是永恆。。。。
所以，我們被綁住了，我們被遊戲綁住了！！！！

We are living in the MATRIX system ~~~

有一天，倘若，我突然發現，
我怎麼會是生存在一個MATRIX 遊戲裡時，
我放棄這一個遊戲的一切時，
是否？？我將脫離這個遊戲系統？
到達另一個遊戲系統？？？？

不過，既然我還在這裡玩遊戲，拼命闖關時，
不斷提昇的要素，
必是我們必修的功課！
Let's Play ~~~~

Pureness in Spring ~~~

My Private Pool at Lalu 

Suddenly I can feel the warmth of the water , 

not cold but warm with a touch of crisp, 

I can hear the ripples, 

as nobody had touched it for a while...

Whimsical clouds did not scare away the afternoon sun, 

when I smiled at the sky, 

waiting to melt in with the transparent pureness, 

under no witness but the heavenly sky. 

Am I Pina Bausch ???

Why am I suddenly interested in her?
Well  ....   I took a psychological test about my inner self , which resulted in I am Pina Bausch insight me....! :)

 Therefore,  here it is: The Mother of Modern Dance Pina Bausch!

Film : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440266/

The Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfoheZr5gbc#t=102













“To understand what I am saying, you have to believe that dance is something other than technique. We forget where the movements come from. They are born from life. When you create a new work, the point of departure must be contemporary life -- not existing forms of dance.” 
― Pina Bausch

I am not interested in how people move, but what moved them.  --- Pina Bausch

What are you longing for? --- Pina Bausch

Life is birth, death , Struggle, desire, love, depression, longing, separation, reunion, passion , .....

戰斧牛排 at Marco Polo 38th Far Eastern Hotel 

2000 Angélus, St-Emilion

SKU #100162697 points Wine Spectator

 (Collectibles) Out of this world. Incredible aromas of crushed blackberries and cherries, with wet earth, mineral and mint. Full-bodied, with fantastically refined, silky tannins and a long, long finish. Terrific. Greatest Angelus I have ever tasted. Best after 2010.  (3/ 2003)

96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

 What can you say about Hubert de Bouard and Angelus? Each year they seem to turn out one great wine after another, and the 2000 showed its merit in two different tastings. A wine of great intensity, bluish/black, with a big, sweet kiss of graphite, crushed rocks, blueberry, spring floral garden and blackberry liqueur, unctuously textured as well as pure, dense, and stunningly rich, this full-bodied wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 25-30 years.  (6/ 2010)

K&L Notes

Deep, dark, blackish color. Reserved in the nose. A huge wine on the palate. Tons of sweet fruit on the mid palate. Chocolate and orange nuances. Very tannic at the end. Could turn out great? A powerhouse of a wine that will need a long time in the cellar.

Angel's Ranking : 96 pt Blackberries, deep rock, old wine feel,  earth rich aroma  , cherrie texture 

2009 Domaine Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

SKU #1077719
93 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

 A discreet touch of wood sets off aromas of dried rose petal, lemon grass and green apple that precede rich, full and obviously well-muscled big-bodied flavors that possess an intense minerality on the powerful, driving and palate staining finish that delivers simply terrific persistence. This imposing effort is most impressive and should offer up to a decade of potential improvement  (2/ 2011)

93 points Wine Spectator

 Candied apple and lemon flavors are highlighted by butter and grilled almond notes in this opulent white. Concentrated and creamy, with a hint of seashore that adds another dimension. The saturated finish echoes the butter and nut themes. Best from 2013 through 2025. 4,174 cases made. –BS 

Angel's ranking; 94 Lemon Flowery Aroma with Crispy light taste ! Love this white wine ! 

War between Chinese and Vietnam

陳文茜撰寫長文「每一段歷史，都有它的情緒」

每一段歷史，都有它的情緒

歷史只是一張薄薄的紙，你誤以為它堅硬如石，其實一踏就破；所謂「文明」，也只是一個細緻的陶瓷罐，一摔即碎。

現在我們得愈來愈「感念」那些曾經占領立法院的年輕人，如何以「騷動」昭告醉夢中的成年人，我們活在一個多麼「不確定」(非小確幸)的年代。於是人們開始願意打開眼睛看看「島嶼」以外的世界，巴西、泰國、烏克蘭、土耳其…「啊!越南。」

越南的暴動以簡易決絕的方式，讓台商驚覺不斷追求廉價勞動力的製造業之路，如今多麼難以持續。經濟大衰退後，曾經如印鈔機般的大陸台灣鞋廠、紡織廠、塑化廠…毛利率只剩4%；二十年好光景終於結束。2010年初大陸大幅提高基本工資，台廠被迫全面遷徙越南甚至孟加拉等地。

我們對越南那個看似體骼嬌小的民族了解太少。越南歷史上最著名的國家英雄，大半為「抗中」英雄。越南二千年的歷史，皆是對抗「外來者」血跡斑斑的歷史。越南民族主義者流行的諺語是:「如果我們失敗了，我們會把希望托付給下一代」。越南史上最著名的抗中英雄是一對姐妹花，徵氏姊妹，又稱二徵夫人；她們的故事如今仍廣為人知；儘管那已是二千年前的傳奇。西元40年東漢光武帝派至越南的交阯太守蘇定對當地民眾橫徵暴斂，並濫殺菁英，二徵夫人舉兵，攻下65座城池，一度被推為「徵王」，統治範圍包括今日越南中北部至廣西欽州。隔兩年東漢光武帝率兵二萬八千及二千艘車船，仗打兩年，二徵夫人戰敗至死。

1964年7月中國為恢復中越關係，周恩來至河內訪問，還特別至二徵夫人陵墓獻花。在越南人的傳說中，二徵夫人是翱翔於高山上的雄鷹 ，「仙龍」的後代，她們不只是越南婦女的最大光榮，也是越南長達一千年反抗中國統治的象徵；越南當地的史書上尊稱兩位奇女子為「徵聖王」。各地皆有大量紀念二徵的祠堂、廟宇以及以她們為名的街道；每年陰曆二月六號(傳說中的二徵殉難日)為國定節日，她們的形象被描繪成騎在大象背上作戰的統帥，印於官方郵票上。

當台商或者鼓勵南進的政治人物經濟學者，決定將工廠遷至越南時，他們對越南的理解是脫離歷史脈絡的，即使存在也只有法國自17世紀起的殖民史，或者1960年代殘酷的越戰。其實越南是一個憤怒的國家，每一段歷史皆為血淚。越南國父胡志明曾經向法國人警告:「我們可以用十條人命來抵你一個；即便如此，你們最後還是輸定了…我們切記風雪傲松柏的道理；在風雪中，松柏永遠更挺拔更蒼勁。」

2010年我曾訪問越南，深入北越共軍出沒森林地，親眼目睹遭美國火焰彈投擲的土地，那不只是對人的殘忍，三十年未曾消退的化學物質殘留其間，有些寸草未生…。越南是世界上平均年齡最年輕的國度之一，約25歲上下；看在投資者眼中它代表「豐沛」的勞動力；看在歷史學家的眼中，那代表「老一輩的人幾乎被殺光」。一名清秀的越南女子，正在山中幹活，她看著我，嘴角抿著一絲微笑；但不知為何，我在她清澈的眼神中，看到一縷淡淡的「恨」。她是一名寡婦，丈夫死於越戰，兒子被活活炸死，死時不到五歲。

對越南歷史及民族性的薄弱理解，使人們將此次越南排華只鎖定於南海石油開發爭奪戰，甚至扯上「貧富差距」。越南人均1896美元，非常貧窮，2013年通膨6.6%，貧富基尼係數尚可35.6(比中印巴西等皆低)；此波經濟最糟時刻為2008年，當時通膨高達28.24%；經濟成長率自2008年(8.4%)、2009年(6%)…逐漸趨緩，去年2013年仍維持5.4%，目前通膨4.45%；經濟或仇富皆非主因。如果不從歷史思索，我們不會理解這個看似「寧靜國度」，每一個家庭、每一個越南人的血液裡，都流著「抵抗外人」的基因。

只要那個歷史缺口出現，仇恨隨時湧出。

離開越南撤資?整個東南亞的歷史本來就是一段殖民史，血淚斑斑；而且政權更不穩定；尤其印尼等排華更非千年往事，而是進代活生生的現事。

只能說，那個離開台灣後，台廠追逐廉價勞動力繁榮的年代，在中國大陸飛黃騰達的故事，已是最後一哩路了。

Look Up!

Social Net Work or Social Isolation ?

at My Private Pool ~~~ the Lalu Pool Vila

Where is the paradise ?? 山嵐雲霧瀰漫 ~~~

他們説，也許下一秒鐘霧氣一起，山水又消失了無影無蹤⋯。。。。。。

This is the most beautiful  site in Taiwan at the resort " The Lalu " of the famous Lake Sun Moon ! 

Lalu Swimming Pool and the Lake 

Sunrise  ~~~ Can you see the light shining  at the top of the  mountain  ?
Listen~~~  Can you hear the the birds singing ?

I can actually hear the sound of the waves 

The Clouds were moving so rapidly, which implicated the incoming pouring rain .......

也許，這就是真正的"幻化網"中的一切顯像⋯
天地水面之間，
毫無分別，
人也在這樣的雲霧裡溶入，
而生生滅滅，
我，如同山河，
存在與不存在，
只是認知的執著的問題⋯⋯

Great Gatsby's Look ~~ Smile !!

I have found my " Green Light " here !!

The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock is a significant symbol within the book. To Gatsby, the green light represents his dream, which is Daisy. To attain her would be completing Gatsby’s American Dream. The first time the green light is seen in the novel is also the first time Nick sees Gatsby. Fitzgerald writes, “…he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward – and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away…” The green light is described as ‘minute and far away’ which makes it appear impossible to reach. This will prove to be true for Gatsby. The green light also represents society’s desire and the seeming impossibility of achieving the materialistic American Dream.   

Christie's 2014 Spring and ~~~

at Sherwood Hotel 

每一個藝術品的背後，都隱藏了許多的故事。。。，不僅僅是一段精彩的戀愛情史，更是歐洲現代藝術文化政治演化的縮影。
如同書中「琥珀眼睛的兔子」 ，我們走進了近一百五十年的歷史，歐洲猶太家族的興起落敗，如同紅樓夢𥚃政治破害後中國人的辛酸。。。

今日午後，充滿著藝術氣息。
晚間，感謝Christie's 熱情的招待，
譲大家更貼近了近代的畫作，細膩的藝術品，以及美到秉息的珠寶⋯⋯⋯。

Words from Dalai Lama ~~~~~

Art and Sports Car ~~~

“Now there are many, many people in the world, but relatively few with whom we interact, and even fewer who cause us problems. So when you come across such a chance for practicing patience and tolerance, you should treat it with gratitude. It is rare.

 Just as having unexpectedly found a treasure in your own house, you should be happy and grateful toward your enemy for providing you that precious opportunity. Because if you are ever to be successful in your practice of patience and tolerance, which are critical factors in counteracting negative emotions, it is due to your own efforts and also the opportunity provided by your enemy.”

Mouton Rothschild 1996

Angel Rating: 98 

Having been given such a delightful and enchanting present from a dear friend , I need to make a special offering ~~~ 
May all my friends and love ones be blessed by unbounded wisdom. wealth and happiness !

96 Points | International Wine Cellar , August 2011

(77% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot and 10% cabernet franc; pH 3.85; IPT 73; 12.7% alcohol; 83% new oak):  Bright ruby with a palish rim.  Intense, fragrant aromas of strawberry, iris, coffee, white pepper and bay leaf are lifted by an aromatic spice note; one can recognize the cabernet franc here.  Rich, dense and suave, with very pure red fruit, cedar and herb flavors that coat the palate and are nicely carried by vibrant, harmonious acidity.  Finishes with outstanding length, noble tannins and a late spicy, floral kick.  This outstanding Mouton has improved enormously since its release.  Tourbier agrees:  "We were a little worried initially that this Mouton seemed too rigid, almost austere.  Instead, it did a complete turnaround once bottled, surprising us as well."

Love At First Sight

Poem by Wislawa Szymborska

Taipei Mountain Top ~~~~~

Both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.

Since they’d never met before, they’re sure
that nothing was happening between them.
What of streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?

I’d like to ask them
whether they remember–
Perhaps in a revolving door
ever being face to face?
An “excuse me” in a crowd?
A curt “wrong number” in the receiver?
But I know the answer:
No, they don’t remember.

They’d be greatly astonished to learn
that for a long time
Chance had been playing with them.

Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for them
it approached them, then backed off,
stood in their way,
and, suppressing a giggle,
jumped to the side.

There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn’t read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood’s thicket?

There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream,
forgotten in waking.

Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.

•有了這層體認，我們便可用全新的角度去看待疏離的人際關係，並且感受到一絲暖意和甜蜜。(摘自陳黎‧張芬齡導讀，辛波絲卡詩選，

※「一見鍾情」(波蘭詩人) 辛波絲卡Wislawa Szymborska

他們倆人都相信
是一股突發的熱情讓他倆交會。
這樣的篤定是美麗的，
但變化無常更是美麗。

既然從未見過面，
從此並無任何瓜葛。
但是聽聽自街道、樓梯、走廊傳來的話語-

他倆或許擦肩而過一百萬次了吧？

我想問他們
是否不記得了-

在旋轉門
面對面那一刻？

或者在人群中喃喃說出的「對不起」？
或者是在聽筒截獲的唐突的「打錯了」？
然而我早知道他們的答案。
是的，他們不記得了。

他們會感到詫異，倘若得知
緣份已玩弄他們
多年。

尚未完全做好，
成為他們命運的準備，
緣份將他們推近，驅離，
憋住笑聲，
阻擋他們的去路，
然後閃到一邊。

有一些跡象和信號存在，
即使他們尚無法解讀
也許在三年前
或者就在上個星期二
有某片葉子飄舞於
肩與肩之間？
有些東西掉了又撿了起來？
天曉得，也許是童年灌木叢中的球？
還有事前已被觸摸
層層覆蓋的
門把和門鈴。
檢查完畢後並排放置的手提箱。
有一晚，也許同樣的夢，
到了早晨變得模糊。

每個開始，
畢竟都只是續篇，
而充滿情節的書本
總是從一半開始看起。(p.148-151)

Art Revolution Taipei 2014 ~~~

瀏覽了這次在台北的新藝術博覽會，
發現，讓Angel 動心想收藏的畫作都已經成為私人所有了。。
不巧的，都是中國大陸的及外國藝術家的作品。
也發現， 台灣大部分的藝術家，受到環境的影響，
散發著一種灰色的氣息，幽暗的，苦悶的，或是造作的外放。。
缺少愛與光明。。。
也許，這是他們的特色，
Angel 想愛台灣的作品但是說怎麼也,....

無法。。。！！

也許，這些現象。。和以下的這篇小文有關。。。。
很可惜！！！

有人說～～～
讓資金流出去，叫做淘空台灣
讓資金流進來，叫做買下台灣

讓人才走出去，叫做人才外流
讓人才走進來，叫做木馬屠城

人家賺你的錢，叫做欺人太甚
人家讓你賺錢，叫做收買人心

要便宜用電又不要核能
要地區發展又不要國光石化
要反壟斷又想壟斷媒體

要買得起房又不要都市更新
要經濟發展又不要服貿協議

要台獨建國又不要當兵
要欺負警察又叫警察保護
要司法公正又拜託法外開恩
台灣人很有趣！

不要工廠，卻要高薪，
不要核電，卻要用電

拒絕杜邦，杜邦去了山東，
投資250億。

拒絕拜耳，拜耳去了德州，
投資1260億。

拒絕迪士尼，迪士尼去了香港，
年營收1400億。

拒絕F1賽車場，F1去了新加坡，
月營收30億。

拒絕古根漢，古根漢去了西班牙，
年營收300億。

不要服貿，韓國要！
不要龍燈，中國要！

最好錢多事少離家近，
22K怪政府，
去了解一下
當初拒絕這些的是哪些人？

你會發現這些反對團體都一樣，
以前反對，現在也反對，

沒工作！
去找這些團體，
去包圍這些反對的
團體，政黨，學者！
叫他們給你一個公道。

If Taiwan should forsake cooperating with China, .... what is next?

如果台灣人真想回到不丹的原始生活，
首先須要學習的是放棄所有欲望，
放棄科技，放棄時尚，放棄高薪，放棄電影，放棄美食，放棄想要與四小龍競爭的可能，放棄所有與國際現代化有關的事業，玩具。
開始原始的宗教式無欲的生活～

成為世界上最快樂的國家！

A Splendid April Party in Taipei ~~~

In fact, if we do not turn on the TV, we can happily observe the sunset, enjoy our swimming pool, taste the  fine wines and champagne, listen to the bird singing , the life would become so peaceful and heavenly tranquil without disturbance !!

However, we do need to be aware of what is going on in the society and offer a helping hand if necessary, because eventually we are living in the city of Taipei ~~~
